They depend on donations to provide these essential services. Evans reviewed their website and realized they needed a modern, streamlined look, more intuitive navigation and increased speed. Many parents were complaining about how difficult it was to find information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After much research, Evans used the insights to address the pain points and meet the evolving needs of the community. After 100 hours of writing over 5,000 lines of code, a new, refreshing website emerged. Evans tested his new website among users and it was clear by the feedback that he made drastic improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Evans-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Evans-chart.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Evans-chart-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Evans-chart-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, everyone who tested the new website said they would donate to the organization!

She examined several variables, such as resource dependence, economic inequality and political instability and their effects on different countries. Country policies and political management seemed to be a significant determinant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide2.jpg 930w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide2-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide2-768x398.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"836\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide.jpg 836w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Shadia-presentation-slide-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations Shadia and  Evans for winning a Maris Award for this excellent work.
